Hey everybody, the cats out of the bag so I can finally let everybody know what i've been busy doing with my free time the past 6 months or so. I've put together an homage to Mark Gruenwalds original comic book series from back in the early eighties using the characters from the best superhero comic on the stands today, Invincible! It's The Official Handbook of the Invincible Universe, an illustrated guide which attempts to detail the Invincible universe and the diverse collection of characters in it. The book features classic artists from the 60's 70's and 80's and many of the biggest comtemporary names in the industry today, a number of whom are right here on Deviant. I'm literally in awe of the talent in these books and I hope everyone who was a fan of the original Handbook series, fans of Invincible and comics in general enjoy it as much as I have putting it together. I'll follow up soon with a journal entry with more information about the 2 issue series which is scheduled to drop Nov. 2nd from Image Comics. I could sure use all the support I can muster here on Deviant to get the word out about this book, so if you're so inclined, please tell your friends about it, these books defenitely carry my 100% seal of satisfaction approval. If you like comics, awesome art and a book that will provide litterally hours of reading enjoyment, The Official Handbook of the Invincible Universe is for you.

wow, thanks Bob, coming from you that means a heck of a lot, you've just been killin' the stuff you've been doing recently, that spidey montage is probably my favorite piece to hit deviant in the past 6 months, i really dig what you're doing.....................

awfully kind of you to say my friend, i really appreciate it. dude, that new texas chainsaw trailer is tight! its so touching on stuff from the original flick, can't wait to see it, just had to share that with a fellow horror guy!

Yeah, I was surprised by how much I liked the remake that came out a few years ago. Being a dedicated Texas Chainsaw fan, I really expected to hate that new remake movie. The original Texas Chainsaw is so perfect, and everything I saw of the remake before it came out suggested a too-slick for its own good, Hollywood-ized box office machine filled with a cast of pretty people. And it did kinda start out that way. But man, as soon as Leatherface showed up it got so freakin' real, and was so great right down to the very end. Then I sure thought it delivered the goods. I suppose I have the same concerns about this next one, but you know I gotta be there to find out for myself.

dang jeffery, thanks man, i really appreciate the kind words! i'm attempting to add one more piece of art into the handbook, there have been so many artists that i've wanted to ask to be in this sucker and just haven't had the number of characters or pages to get everyone, if this last piece happens and i can make room for it, would you possible be interested in doing a piece? its not for sure but if it happens that i can squeeze it in i would sure love to have you in the book! let me know, dusty!
